  1. When a Gun is discharged it should be attempted murder. Ain’t no way I’m shooting anyone to do grievous bodily harm

  2. Not him again! What excuses are now going to be offered on his behalf? Good heavens!

  3. I hope I won’t hear that he has been released on bail pending trial. I am sorry, we are too traumatized.

  4. Isn’t this attempted murder ? This place is a joke.Smh time to get this criminal off the street. Not his first rodeo .you know he’s gonna get a slap on the wrist. Absolute menace to society .

  6. So a man shot a man in his neck and was not chaged for attempted murder?

    Some how the police is convinced that a man used an illegal fire arm to injure?

    Mr Popey GBH is a more serious charge and carry a stiffer penalty?
    Seems like WENDELL’s work is getting easier and easier.

  7. Good! Get these gun-totting criminals off our streets. No bail from the weak-bellied judiciary, no softly softly approaches and no mercy.

    The streets belong to all law abiding citizens.

    Make Antigua Safe Again 🇦🇬
